Just two weeks after stepping down from his position as CEO of Six Senses, Neil Jacobs has reemerged as Senior Strategic Advisor for Capella Hotel Group, supporting the hospitality brand’s global growth and strategic development.

Jacobs’ new responsibilities fall under the scope of his newly founded company Wild Origins, which is described as a “purpose-driven advisory collective and creative studio that brings soulful and sustainable projects to life”.

“Wild Origins is about building what’s next,” Jacobs said. “It is a space to reimagine how we live, create, and connect with each other and the world around us. We are partnering with people and projects that are bold and purposeful. I believe the best ideas feel both inevitable and inspired, while being deeply grounded in purpose.”
